Strange Problem

Dannyboy84 · 9 May 2014 at 11:53

I'm not sure what's causing this issue, it started about a week ago when I play my games or use programs such as word access etc and even when I'm watching dvd's they all minimize to windows for no reason. it happens without me touching the mouse or keyboard and its quite annoying.

I have checked if any keys are stuck down and cleaned my keyboard with some keyboard wipes and it is still happening.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

something else running in the background? check your task manager and see what processes are taking place.

Does this happen just after opening an application/game?

When I got my first Samsung SSD the other week my games suddenly displayed this behaviour while Samsung Magician client was running in the background. Exiting from it using the taskbar icon temporarily resolved the issue and removing it from the start up folder stopped the problem on reboot.

I've since uninstalled it altogether as I went Raid on two of their drives so had no further need for that particular software.

it happens at random points not always when I start a program

try a system restore to before the problem started.

Try a diff keyboard just to be sure.
